The Atlanta Hawks Jamal Crawford is currently in a legal battle with a former landlord since he hasn't received his security deposit back.
However the landlord believes that Crawford doesn't deserve it back, why you ask?
We get more from TMZ:
So, I guess that means Crawford lawsuit might be going to the dogs...
Crawford has filed a lawsuit against the landlord -- claiming she won't return his $20,000 deposit on an Atlanta mansion he rented ... insisting he only caused $1,700 in damage during his stay.
But according to MyFoxAtlanta.com -- the landlord says she's going EASY on the guy -- because his massive doggies -- 2 bull mastiffs and a rottweiler -- relieved themselves all over the home ... we're talking #1s AND #2s.
In fact, the landlord claims the designer blinds are stained with dog pee ... and she has to replace the carpets because the smell is unbearable. She claims the dogs also chewed up several banisters and doors ... and the plumbing needs to be replaced because the sinks were clogged up with dog food.
In total, the landlord claims Crawford caused more than $28k in damages.
